    Morning Folks! Are we ready to tackle another month of keeping the cash in our pockets, rather than frittering away the finances without a final [STRIKE]fourt[/STRIKE]thought :D
    I've put final totals on the May Roll of Honour..if you don't think it's a good idea they are easily removed, but I thought it would give us a sense of how hard we are trying. More of an inspirational tool if you like, to spur us on when the dark demon of desire comes a-callin':rotfl: Let me know what you think....

    Afternoon all!

    Well I know today is going to be a spend day. I'd got into the habit of buying my lunch every day from the shop down the road so today (payday, woop) I'm going to Mr T's to get me some lunch supplies for the next wee while - need to be healthy as well as cheap cos I'm on a trying to eat healthier/lose some weight kick at the mo. Going to pop over to os for some inspiration :)

    Big mumma F...

    can you put me down for 15 please.... first timer for this challenge but in for a penny n all that!

    Thanks for doing the thread!

    And today, by joining the thread have stopped myself from going out for a wander at lunch time, (read spending money!) lol!!

    Should achieve a NSD today then!

    Does petrol count as a spend? thinking ahead here, have budgeted 30 a week on a wednesday for petrol... but will it count as a spend day?

    Hi yeah I'm gonna stick with 13 again this month - since I only made 12 last month ;)

    I don't count gas, electric (prepay) or petrol as they are necessary (petrol to get to work).

    I only count grocery spends (as I do too many of those) and then that extra spending like clothes, snacks, sweets etc

    Thanks.
    working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?

    Thanks for the clarification newlywed!

    If i buy anything other than petrol, then i will certainly count it in... but if i stick to my petrol budget then it can be called a NSD! yay!

    Pooh... today definitely NOT a NSD... I just bought a Magnum. :o It is so hot! Oh well I'll hit the supermarket today to buy some yoghurts so I can try and have a NSD tomorrow.
